Audio Film Review: Superheroing Fights ’Smoking Causes Coughing’

Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
This is a French film that involves the Tobacco Force … five plasticine clad heroes who themselves look like the Power Rangers, fight evildoers who look like Japanese monsters from the 1950s, have an off-putting robot companion and use their powers of spraying cancer causing agents found in cigarettes.
